Chapter 249 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 2

Chapter 249

In a shabby meat restaurant, Agent Choi, Assistant Manager Eun Haje, and Agent Ryu Jaekwan share a meal to recover from the Sekwang Metropolitan City incident. Agent Choi and Eun Haje are recovering from severe aftereffects; Eun Haje is eating with gloves to avoid electric shocks from her returned equipment. Ryu Jaekwan, feeling conflicted, observes the group. The group reflects on the Bureau's classification of their experience as "contamination" caused by an unsafe well, noting that the Bureau views the situation as a dream-based incident. Kim Soleum (codenamed 130666), a supernatural entity in a gas mask, observes them from the table. It is revealed that Kim Soleum is actually the former Agent Grapes, who lost his humanity and is being treated as a phenomenon rather than a person. Ryu Jaekwan recalls the aftermath of the incident, where Agent Haegeum successfully stabilized Kim Soleum's condition using the Grand Jade Bell and Jade Drops, implying she treated Kim Soleum as a supernatural entity rather than a human. This realization led Ryu Jaekwan to suspect that the purification methods were designed for phenomena, not humans. As the meal concludes, the conversation turns to the whereabouts of Assistant Manager Lee Seonghae (Dolphin), who has remained in a coma for two weeks. Kim Soleum worries that Lee Seonghae may have become a permanent resident of the ghost story due to total contamination. If she remains missing for a month, Daydream Inc. will treat her as deceased, resulting in a "point reset" where all accumulated Wish Tickets are lost. Agent Choi asserts that rescue is the Bureau's specialty, but Kim Soleum contemplates the difficulty of countering the noose-based threat. Kim Soleum suggests a potential solution: employing Section Chief Lee Jaheon (Lizard) to physically smash through the obstacles of the ghost story.
